PUMP-OPERATING ENGINE. i Q11;

Application filed April 15, 1922. Serial No. 553,042.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORVILLE JEROME JoNEs, a citizen of the United States, resid ing at Emmett, in the county of Gem and 5 State of Idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Pump-Operating Engine, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled'in the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same.

This invention is an improved engine which I call a lever weight gravity engine, and which may be operated by weights or springs and'is especially adapted for operating a double cylinder pump having reciprocating plungers, but "which is also adapted for operating other devices of this kind as well, in which there is a reciprocating element, the object of the invention being to PIOVlClE an improved engineofthis kind which is simple in construction, which may be readily 'operated,'which requires but very little attention, and which when wound will keep a pump in operation for a considerable period of time. j

The invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and. claimed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a pump, operating engine constructed in accordance- 'Wlfih my invention, showing the same connected to vand arranged for operating a P mp 7 Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, Figure 3 is a verticalsectional view of the same on the planeindicated bythe'liue w -a of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a similar view on the plane indicated by the line 6-4) of Figure 2, Figure 5 is a horizontal sectional view on the plane indicated by the line cc of Figure 1. In accordance with my invention I provide a suitable'frame which is here shown as comprising front and rear upwardly converging members 1--2, a plate 3 which connects the upper ends of the members 1, a sill piece or base a which connects the lower ends of said membersl, a plate 5'which connects the upper ends of the'members2 and a sill piece or base 6 which'connects the lower'ends of said members 2., Bearings T are secured on the centers of-the plates and a rockshaft 8 is mounted in" said bearings. A pair-of bars- 9- connect the members 12, near the uppe'1 -"ends-of said members, and suitable. I

standards 10 are secured to and supported bysaid bars 9, said standards having bearings ll-at their upper ends for anaxle shaft 12 on which a pair of pulleys"13-14 are mounted for rotation.

The rock shaft is provided with a pendulum rod 15 which depends-therefrom near itsYrear end, a pendulum weightld-which is here shown as triangular, being secured to the pendulum rod for vertical adjustment said rod passing through a central bore in said pendulum weight and'the" latter being provided with a'set screwl'l' which engages said a pendulum rod. Tappet pins 18 -19 respectively project from the front and rear sides of the pendulum weight 16 at the center thereof and near its lower end.

Shafts 20 21 ;are mounted in bearings on opposite sides of'the frame, and said shafts are each provided with a spur gear and a drum, the spur gear of thesha ft 20 beingindicated at 23,-the drum of said shaft at '24, the'sprocket gear of the shaft 21 and the drum thereof at 26. A weight 27 is connectedb'y a suitable cord or cable 28 to-the drum 24 and'passes over the pulley 14. "A similar weight 29 is connected to the drum '26 by a cord 30 which passes-over the pulley 13. The dr'uinsare fast toythe shafts'a'ndthespur gears areloose on said shafts and are connected thereto by ratchet'wheels 31 and 'pawlsaa which permit the turning of said shafts, independently of said spur'gears infone jdirection,'t'o cause the cords tojbe wound upon said drums to raise the weights.

Within the scope of my invention any suitable means may be employed for winding suitable springs, if preferred," may be substituted for the weightsand cords,]'for'revolvir'ig the gears 23 25.

Said gears respectively iengage' pinions -The gearl 'engage's a pinion I4551o1'1- 'a'sha'ft '46. The gear 44; engages a pinion-47pm the j shaft' 48; The shafts 35-'36'-'40-43 "are up the cords and raising theweights and i '33-34 on shafts 3536,*the shafts 35 also 1 mounted in bearings on the members 1-2. The shafts L6T4 8.. are mounted in bearings on the cross bars l9. whioh'connect the members 12 at the front and rear sides of the frame and are arranged at a suitable distance from the lower ends 'of'said members. The said bars 49 are also provided with bearings for a pair of escapement shafts 50-51 which are respectively provided with escapement wheels 52-53, which are arranged for rotation in reverse directions, and-each of whichis here shown as provided with five peripheral ratchet teeth 54. Theshaft 50 has apinion 55 which is engaged byagear 56 on the shaft 46. The shaft 51 has1a pinion 57 whichis engaged by a gear-58 on the shaft 48. Radial tappet arms 50 are also secured to the escapement shafts.

A dog 59 which is pivotally mounted at 60 is held bya spring-'61 normally in engagement with the ratchet wheel 52. A similar dog '62 which is pivotally mounted at 63 is held by a spring 64 normally in engagement with the ratchetiwheelf-53. A lever 65 is providedxfor;releasing the dog 59 from theratchetwheel52, is vpivotally mounted at GSand-isnrranged in thepath of the pendulum weight 16. A similar lever 67,-which is pivotally mounted at 68, is adapted -totrip the 'dog- 62 from the ratchet wheel 53--and is arranged in the path of the pendulum weight.

Hence-when the pendulum is swung, and theengine is in operation, the pendulum at the end of its stroke engagesone of the levers sothat said lever moves one of the dogs against the tension ofv the spring connected to said dog outof engagement with. one of the escapement wheels, and hence said escapement wheel turns through a partial rotation, and one of'the tappet arms 50 engagingone ofsaid tappet pins of the pendulum and imparting-1 a. return strokethereto and hence the pendulum iskept in operation.

A pump 69 is here showna'rranged on the front side of the frameiand provided-with a pair of vertical cylinders 70-71 in which plungers 72-43 respectively operate, said plungers being connected by rods 7 47 5 to a walking beam 76whichis secured to the frontend'of the shaft v8. Hence the pump is operated by the engine.
